Description
- The present invention relates to a fume extractor hood. In particular, this hood is preferably but without limitation designed to extract cooking fumes from food. A hood of this type suitably finds application in kitchens of canteens, restaurants, hotels, private homes and other places, as defined in the preamble of
claim 1. - More in detail, the hood of the present invention is of the type designed to at least partially fit in a receptacle formed in a ceiling. This ceiling has an outer surface that faces the room occupied by users, e.g. the kitchen. The ceiling further has an inner surface, hidden from view of hood users, and at least partially defines the aforementioned receptacle. The inner surface is opposite to the outer surface.
- Cooking fume extractor hoods that can at least partially fit in a receptacle formed in a ceiling are known in the art, also as ceiling hoods.
- Prior art hoods generally comprise a frame that partially defines a suction duct. This frame also defines a suction opening, through which cooking fumes are drawn into the suction duct, filtered and exhausted.
- More in detail, the frame has at least one pair of opposite sides. If the opening has a rectangular shape, then the frame comprises two pairs of opposite sides. A first pair of opposite sides is defined by the two long sides of the frame, and a second pair is defined by the two short sides.
- In particular, in prior art hoods, the frame is designed to at least partially fit in the receptacle. In order to facilitate installation, prior art hoods comprise spring-actuated lock members at the long sides of the frame. Typically, prior art hoods comprise two lock members at each side.
- More in detail, each of the lock members comprises a lug that is designed to retract into a perimeter of the frame and allow the frame to fit into the receptacle. Once the frame has been positioned, the lug is deployed to rest on the inner wall of the receptacle. Then the frame is fastened to the ceiling by means of screws
EP 026 351 A1 CN 203364221 U andEP 0 490 074 A1 - One drawback of this arrangement is that, while these hoods are easily positioned and installed, the reverse operation is not as easy. Once the screws are removed, the operator should find a way to push the lug toward the frame to remove the hood. These lugs are placed in locations that are hard to reach when the hood is installed, whereby the operation is complex and time-consuming.
- Furthermore, the operator must use both hands to disengage the lugs, whereby the support of at least one more person is needed to hold the hood as it is being removed.
- Therefore, the technical purpose of the present invention is to provide a cooking fume extractor hood that can obviate the above-mentioned prior art drawbacks.
- In particular, the object of the present invention is to provide a fume extractor hood that can allow a single operator to remove the hood from the ceiling.
- The aforementioned technical purpose and objects are substantially fulfilled by a cooking fume extractor hood that comprises the technical features as disclosed in one or more of the accompanying claims.
- In particular, a cooking fume extractor hood according to one embodiment of the present invention is of the type designed to at least partially fit in a seat formed in a ceiling. This ceiling has an outer surface and an inner surface opposite to the outer surface. The inner surface at least partially defines the seat.
- The hood of the present invention comprises a frame that has at least one pair of opposite sides. The frame is configured to at least partially fit in the seat.
- The hood also comprises at least a locking element at one of the sides of the frame. The locking element comprises a extendable portion adapted to alternate between a extended configuration and a retracted configuration. In the extended configuration, the extendable portion rests on the inner surface of the ceiling to hold the frame in the receptacle. In the retracted configuration, the extendable portion is pulled back into a perimeter of the frame, to allow the frame to be moved into and out of the seat.
- The locking element comprises at least one elastic element associated with the extendable portion to bias the latter from the retracted configuration to the extended configuration.
- The locking element comprises a gripping member connected to the extendable portion. This gripping member is placed in a position that allows access thereto when the frame fits in the seat. The gripping member is adapted to be actuated to pull the extendable portion from the extended configuration back to the retracted configuration.
- The hood of the invention solves the aforementioned technical problem because the gripping member allows the extendable portion to be easily pulled back by the locking element, particularly using one hand. Thus, the operator can use the other hand to hold the hood and is therefore able to complete the disassembly process without the help of another person.
- Further features and advantages of the present invention will result more clearly from the illustrative, non-limiting description of a preferred, non-exclusive embodiment of a fume extractor hood as shown in the annexed drawings, in which:
-
